Recently the market demands for wood, square lumber or board produced with the dry kiln. However, energy consumption is more than necessary for drying of wood. Therefore, technological development for promoting measures for energy conservation is very important. Under the present situation, it is not sufficient to analysis steam-flows in narrow channels of pile-up arrangements in the dry kiln. The CFD technique with the finite volume method is applied to the flow analysis in the steam-heated dry kiln. Most of energy supplied from the internal funs is converted to kinetic energy of velocities running around flow path between pile-up arrangements and inner walls of the kiln. The influence of flow adjuster plates on the flow is showed, and proposals for better configuration of adjuster plates are made. Furthermore, flow control plates on the floor of the kiln make effective improvements on the flows in narrow channels of pile-up arrangements.
